The outlined region shown here is called ‘Greater Middle East’ or ‘Greater Syria’. It was Yasser Arafat’s dream to unite the entire Middle East into one huge state that could challenge even the world superpowers, like The United States of America. Yasser Arafat preached this dream to the world, and some believe that he was close to achieving it. However, several issues such as the different dialects, currencies, and even cultures prevented him from making his dream possible. Also, not all of the Arab countries had good relations with each other, or good internal relations. So Arafat would not live to see the day that the Arab states would unite, however there is still hope, as with each new generation, there is more desire for unity in the Middle East.
